Definitions
- the present invention relates to compression sprayers for spraying under pressure sprayable solutions including pesticides, insecticides, industrial, agricultural, and garden chemicals and the like, and more particularly to a sprayer in which the solution is contained in a bag which may be removed from the sprayer tank when empty and discarded safely without the need to wash out the interior of the tank.
- Compression sprayers operate under air
- the tank is usually filled with the desired chemical in concentrated form and diluted by adding water to arrive at the desired solution for
- the concentrate and the solution may be hazardous, toxic or ecologically undesirable and heretofore when the tank was empty following spraying, the tank would be required to be cleaned for reuse with the inherent danger of the operator being exposed or perhaps coming in contact with the liquid. Moreover, rules and regulations may prohibit the discarding of the tank residue or the cleaning material and liquid.
- a principal object of the present invention is not to contaminate the environment by washing out and cleaning a compression sprayer after each use.
- the present invention eliminates this contamination of the environment by
- a further object is to provide a compression sprayer with a collapsible bag, pouch or lining that may be discarded after completion of a
- spraying operation may be pre-loaded in concentrated form in the bag and sold in this fashion commercially as a sealed receptacle to avoid having an operator handle an otherwise hazardous, toxic or dangerous chemical.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of an assembled compressor sprayer embodying the teachings of the present invention.
- Figure 2 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view of the sprayer tank incorporating a disposable bag for the spray solution.
- Figure 3 is a sectional view of a sealed unfolded pleated disposable bag usable with the present invention.
- Figure 4 is a similar sectional view of the sealed bag of Figure 3 in a collapsed folded position.
- Figure 5 is an exploded sectional view of the tube and outlet coupling and the bag of Fig. 4 shown in an unsealed condition ready to be inserted into the tank interior and filled with liquid.
- Figure 6 is an enlarged sectional view of the outlet of the tank showing the coupling of the bag outlet and outer tube coupling.
- the compression sprayer 10 of the present invention comprises a tank 12 for containing a liquid or spray solution to be
- Pump assembly 26 may be anyone of the pump assemblies used in commercially available sprayers or may be of the type disclosed in commonly owned U.S. Patent Application SN 08/218,767 filed March 28, 1994.
- the pump assembly 26 may be coupled to the tank 12 as shown or as disclosed in the above referenced patent application.
- the solution to be sprayed will be contained in bag 28 mounted in the interior of tank 12. Bag 28 is designed so that when full it will not interfere with the operation of the pump assembly 26 as shown in Figure 2.
- the bag 28 may be initially provided in a folded collapsed condition as shown in Figure 4 which may be facilitated by pleats 30.
- the outlet 32 of the bag 28 may be sealed with a seal 34 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 particularly if the bag is filled with concentrated product such as powder or liquid concentrate or has the desired or selected chemical spray dried on the interior of the bag prior to forming and/or
- a fill spout 36 is inserted into the outlet 32 after the seal 34 is removed prior to installing bag 28 in the tank 12 or could be pre- assembled to the bag and heat sealed to the outlet 32.
- the folded bag 28 of FIG. 5 is placed in the tank 12 through the tank outlet 24 and is filled with liquid.
- the bag 28 will unfold as it fills with liquid.
- the outlet 32 and specifically, the fill spout 36 is coupled to tubing and capped by cap 38 and retainer 40 which is adapted to provide a seal with the spout 36 as well as the mouth of the tank outlet 24.
- the closure ring 42 is adapted to be threadedly connected with the outlet 24 as shown to maintain this sealed condition.
- the interior of the tank may be pressurized with the pump assembly 26.
- the bag 28 will collapse as the liquid therein is sprayed and metered out. In this fashion, the present
- the invention allows an essentially total dispensed volume regardless of orientation.
- the bag 28 can be withdrawn from the interior of the tank 2 and then be conveniently discarded.
- the present invention provides an ecologically suited system for handling, spraying and disposing of hazardous materials and residues.
- the chemicals to be sprayed may be advantageously supplied commercially as a concentrated product in dry or liquid form in the collapsed and sealed bag 28. No dip tub is needed.
- the expended bag following spraying may be removed when empty and discarded as prescribed.
- the sprayer 10 can be reused without having to wash out the interior of the tank 12.
